I just want a simple tool that will help me quickly write scripts/packages that I can schedule to run. My transform requirements are pretty simple (changing column names, merging/splitting tables, and date conversions). I’ll sacrifice flexibility for speed of development on this one.
Any come to mind?
SQL Server 2005? SSIS (but I wouldn’t call it simple, but then again out of the list of things you gave, only the naming is really simple)
You can actually script package creation using C# (.NET/whatever, presumably even PowerShell).
Resources here and here
EDIT: (hope you don’t mind me butting in here Cade) Check that your ODBC driver plays nicely with SSIS. Some drivers (DB2/400 and some versions of Sybase for example) don’t work all that well.
